Mind me drawing?

So here I go, as lots of people before me I'm creating this thread to give you a gimpse at what to find in my sketchbook (or whatever sort of paper I had ready to draw at). I always seem to draw random stuff with a biro (pen) at the edges of a sheet of paper, but that's hardly worth showing.

But last semester there where 6 weekends on which we had lectures on filming and cutting techniques. That often meant sitting about 5 hours sitting in a room without a desk (or energy for the notebook) and that's when I finally started to make use of my sketchbook more frequently. Some friends even joked that it didn't matter what lectures we'll have later, I'll draw anyway...

Well, they were right to some degree, but this semester the lectures are quite interesting and sometimes demanding, so I didn't draw too much lately. But I hope I can change that again and maybe this thread is helping me to keep it up. Who knows.

Guess that's far enough text for a sketchbook. o.O

Some old stuff:

You can see other pics at my homepage. But I'm afraid the english Part is under construction and needs updating. But I think the navigation is not all too difficult.

Very cool! I love the fact you're fearless, sketching all around you - wish I was the same. The cat sketches are great, love the way you've captured the state of sleep and the fluffiness of the fur! If you keep sketching everything around you like this, you'll just get better and better - keep an eye on the proportions too and they'll get tighter and tighter as you progress too. Keep going

@IamPeter - It is always some sort of challenge to draw the cat. Even when she's sleeping (or at least pretending to sleep) she won't stay in one position for long and for now it still takes me some time to capture the fur and her "facial expression". (My dad said it looks way too human in the centered drawing...)

@thek: I didn't carry my sketchbook around me when I was at school, eventhou everybody new I liked drawing alot. It sort of just happened when I started to go to uni and now that people around me got quite used to it, I don't have a problem to start whenever I feel like it. Maybe you should just give it a try. =)

Time for a little update on this scetchbook. Didn't manage to draw as much as I wanted... Anway. Here are some drawings of my left hand (+ a start of sketching a head). Did the last one during the English lesson and didn't have my scetchbook ready...

The lecture sketches from the first post are great! The last one is cool too, but the colour of the hands seems washed out and a little 'ghostly' (to me anyhow). The fingernails don't seem to have been paid much attention yet, but it could be unfinished so feel free to ignore me on that note, haha.

You've got a great start to a sketchbook though; hope to see more soon!

It's great that you're drawing from life so much. Anatomy studies would help as well. I can see improvement in your update, but there are still a few proportion issues and problems in the structure of your figures.
Have fun and keep sketching.

Hey again. These new life sketches look fantastic(!), though, as mentioned above, there are some proportion issues evident. Have you checked out posemaniacs thirty second feature? I haven't actually used it in a while but now there's even a full-screen feature, hmm...Anyhow, I think it's a pretty beneficial practice if you want to try.

Great work, really; I love the lying-down figures (the third from last girl stands out as an example) especially.
